Elib is designed to be for elisp programs what libg++ is for c++ programs: a collection of useful routines which don't have to be reinvented each time a new program is written.

elib contains code for:
- container data structures (queues, stacks, avl trees, etc)
- string handling functions missing in standard emacs
- minibuffer handling functions missing in standard emacs
- routines for handling lists of so called cookies in a buffer.
